This error indicates that the fixed-length Irix kernel data structure used to maintain disk quota information (ndquot) has been exceeded. This parameter can be manually increased up to a maximum value of 6200.

An experienced System Administrator can increase ndquot as follows:

# systune | grep ndquot
ndquot = 806 (0x326)
# systune -i
systune-> ndquot 1600
Do you really want to change ndquot to 900 (0x384)? (y/n)  y
In order for the change in parameter ndquot to become effective,
reboot the system
systune-> ^D
# reboot

This first searches for the current value of ndquot, which is set to 806 in this example. Then it is changed to 1600. A reboot is then necessary for the change to take place.

For more information about disk quotas and systune see Chapter 6 and Appendix A of Irix Admin: System Configuration and Operation. See man quotas(4) for more information about the implementation of disk quotas and man systune for information about the systune program.

If the problem persists, contact your System Administrator or your service provider.
